After a number of years, 7 to be exact, IEEE standards have now ratified the 802.11n wireless specifications. For the last 2 - 3 years it has been known as draft-n. Making it official is a way that those companies who create products based on the n specs will now be compatible with others who follow the same guidelines.
802.11n was first planned back in 2002 but due to resistance from Atheros and Broadcom it delayed things a lot as they couldn't agree on a common ground for the n spec.
The standard has been used for a while now as IEEE promised no significant changes would be made. Connection speeds of 802.11n is theoretically set at 300Mbps which is about 6 times the speed of the previous 802.11g format.
